Apocalypse Now
'The story of the apocalypse is a long and deadly spiral toward misery and suffering' thought Twilight as she sat up on the hill overlooking Ponyville, she could still distinctly remember the day they came, the four, how they crushed all she held dear and how they warped her friends in to mere shadow of what they once were and she stumbled onto the thought of Rainbow Dash and how she had become so twisted and… and evil. And when it was all over how the princess had told them that the effects of the recent events would slowly succumb and be completely consumed by the shadow of time. But Twilight knew in her heart that it would never fade it would always be there clawing at the back of her mind, she would dream about it every night and awake in a cold sweat screaming and clutching at her pillow as if to fend off some invisible foe. As Twilight was thinking of this a loud scream echoed around the valley and Twilight knew where it had come from, the rainbow factory had been progressively increasing its production ever since Rainbow dash had taken over control and had invented a new way of increasing the rainbows power by killing the ponies she took the color from; the sweet Rainbow Dash she once knew was now a monster, twisted and cruel with a heart of ice and no remorse; as were all her friends now, and it was all thanks to the four ponies of the apocalypse and their leader Rawdrol which until recently Twilight had thought a strange name until she spelt it backwards "Lord War" she laughed a twisted laugh dark laugh, and headed down to the town to find more useless ponies to "work" at the rainbow factory.
